After receiving Bull's news, Adrian sent a team of Ralph, Alice and Mellie to the estuary to welcome Alfred and the return of the Sun Vine. As for Adrian himself, he was at his World Tree Manor.
Waiting inside is also the rule of the Green Sea Dynasty. Unless the upper elf returns triumphantly from the battlefield, the upper elf cannot go out to greet the lower elf.
The waiting time was a little unbearable, and Adrian was somewhat anxious. He was looking forward to Alfred's harvest, as well as the stories and knowledge he brought back. As a boy, he had never been to the Nibelungen, and after becoming a lord, he had never left the Nibelungs.
For Adrian, who has no right to leave the territory for the time being, it is difficult to resist the attraction of the outside world. Well, maybe it was because he had no money to travel in his previous life.
In short, Elfrey and the return of the Sun Vine can always bring him some news from the outside world, and can also add a little color to his boring daily life.
Four hours later, the Sun Vine finally sailed into the Opal River under the guidance of the ocean scouts and sea dogs, and dropped its anchor on the dock near the mouth of the valley.
Due to time constraints and because the water surface of the Opal River is too wide, the giants have only dredged a channel that can barely allow a three-masted sailing ship like the Sun Vine to pass through. There are no rocks on the river bottom outside the channel.
There was no time to clear it, but fortunately the channel was safe, and the Sun Vine finally arrived at the door of his house without any danger.
Alfred didn't stop for a moment, nor did he exchange too many greetings with his brother Ralph. He just briefly explained the supplies he brought back, and then handed over all the defense of the Sun Vine.
Mellie and her archers.
Accompanied by Ralph and Alice, he rushed to Adrian's World Tree Manor almost impatiently. He had too many things to report to Adrian. Not only was Adrian a rookie lord,
He and Fred were not just a rookie butler. This journey also shocked him.
But after Alfred saw Adrian, he saluted but was speechless for a moment. He felt like he had so many things to say that he didn't know where to start. It was Adrian who took the initiative to step forward and take the photo.
Patting Alfred on the shoulder, he said: "Don't be nervous, Alfred, you have gone home. Sit down and drink tea."
The words "Go home" seemed to hit the softest part of Alfred's heart accurately. He suddenly started to tremble and choked up. He had always received an elite education and even couldn't maintain his manners. He was a little confused and confused.
He sat down opposite Adrian, picked up the tea in front of him with trembling hands, and finally put his mouth to the teacup and took a sip.
Adrian was a little confused. Did he feel wronged outside? Or did he encounter pirates, but it shouldn't be that big of a deal. Did the Tidal Dolani family make any progress after being slapped hard by him?
None.
Adrian asked: "What's wrong, Ah Fu? Have you been wronged outside? It's okay. Keep all the arrogance and cold treatment in your heart. One day, I will find justice for you."
Alfred put down the tea cup. At this time, his excitement had calmed down a little, and he replied in a normal tone: "No, Lord, I just feel that I have been away from home for too long."
Hearing Alfred say this, Adrian smiled. Sure enough, although this guy always pretended to be mature and steady, he was actually still a newbie at heart. Ralph and Alice also laughed, and Ralph looked at Adrien.
Adrian nodded, then walked to Alfred with a smile, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered with a smile: "You're a good-for-nothing guy."
Then Alfred himself laughed, and he scratched his head sheepishly at Adrian, who laughed and cursed:
"Ralph is right, you are a good-for-nothing guy. You are my future business leader. How can you expect me to hand over my money bag to you with confidence? You are a family-loving guy, Ah Fu."
Of course Alfred knew that this was just Adrian's joke, and that his lord was just trying to stop himself from falling into emotions, so he quickly returned to his butler appearance:
"It's just because this is my first time to face everything alone, Lord, and I bear the great responsibility you have given me. When I was outside, I didn't dare to relax for a moment. Now that I'm home, after suddenly relaxing, I feel a little embarrassed.
I won’t do it anymore, Lord, you can continue to trust me.”
Adrian knew that Alfred was not asking for credit. He didn't need to do that. He had nowhere to go, and Adrian had no one available for the time being. Besides, he still had feelings accumulated over such a long time, so Adrian
After seeing Alfred calm down, An said curiously:
"Okay, Afu, your position as the leader of trade is of course stable, and besides..." At this point, Adrian glanced at Ralph jokingly, and then continued jokingly:
"Ralph has done a good job in the territory. There is no place for you here for the time being, so you still have to continue running outside. Okay, now tell us about your experience outside. Well, Alice, take some
Here comes the tea, by the way, Ah Fu, do you want some coffee?"
Alice went to get tea, but Alfred said that he had not drank coffee for a long time, and his current taste still preferred tea. Adrian asked Ralph to sit down and listen to Alfred.
and the experience of this voyage with the Solar Storm.
Whether from the perspective of Alfred's brother or from the perspective of the territorial housekeeper, Ralph must have a detailed understanding of this voyage.
Alfred organized his words for a few minutes and finally clarified the clues. He told it in as calm a tone as possible:
"After we left the territory, the voyage went smoothly. The bugbears and ocean scouts quickly adapted to their new jobs. They did a good job. The few members who were seasick also quickly adjusted.
With a favorable wind and the convenience of taking advantage of the Red Ocean Current Egotta, we arrived at our first stop six days later, the coastal city of Angelou in the Eiffelto Forest of the Frost-Blue Berniger family."
At this time, Alice came in with a tray. She placed the refreshments in front of the three of them, and gave Ralph a cup of green tea. Ralph nodded in thanks, and Alice nodded with a smile, and then walked to Ai
Behind Derian stood.
Alfred paused, and then continued: "Our tea trade was not smooth at first, because our price was higher than high-quality coffee, and because it was a new type of drink that had never appeared before. Although we borrowed money from the lord,
Your Excellency, you and your family visited some big local businessmen in the name, but the results were not optimistic. In Angru, we visited a total of eleven big businessmen. The day after we got the samples, there were only two big businessmen with a small amount.
I bought some, but they are less than one kilogram."
Alfred said this, and Adrian was not surprised. After all, although tea is good, coffee has been the mainstream of the Green Sea Dynasty for hundreds of thousands of years, so he asked curiously: "So, our tea is unsaleable.
?Afu."
Alfred smiled at Adrian and said: "No, Lord, in view of the poor sales of tea in Angru, we immediately headed to the next stop after replenishing fresh water and supplies.
It is another seaside city in the Eiffel Tower Forest, Badran, where we received a completely different treatment from Angru. Our tea was sold out before we even had time to organize a tasting party, and we even had
I have brought back an order of more than fifty kilograms, and all of this is thanks to you, Lord, it is all your credit."
Adrian waved his hand. He took Alfred's last sentence as a compliment, so Adrian said humbly: "No, Afu, this is your credit. After all, you are our trade leader."
, I didn’t do anything.”
Alfred stood up, bowed deeply to Adrian, and said: "No, Lord, this is your credit. It was you who gave the tea to the two Holy Spirit Crowns.
Tea can quickly open up the high-end market, so all this is due to you. The Sun Vine and I are just sea drivers delivering goods. Even a slightly intelligent earth dragon can complete our work.
.”
"Oh, did the two Holy Spirit Crown Princes help recommend it?" Adrian calculated the time for a while. The time when tea was selling well in Badlan should be when he met the two after killing Durant at the beach.
Shortly after the Holy Spirit Crown Prince presented the tea, it was probably the two Holy Spirit Crown Princes who discovered the efficacy of tea and promoted it to other families.
You must know that the relationship between the Frost Blue Berniger and White Light Granbo families is not bad, just like the relationship between Foehn Windfule and White Light Granbo, they are also close marriage relationships, so according to Adrian’s previous life
According to legend, Foehn Windfule and Frostblue Berniger can be regarded as close relatives.
The two parties are close neighbors. Although they do not have close contact with each other, they do not make things difficult for each other. Even if it is convenient, they would not mind giving the other party some convenience. After all, both parties belong to the order of elemental elves.
"This is all your credit. Without the recommendation of the two Holy Spirits, our tea would have to go through an extremely difficult and even bloody road to open the market." Alfred was a little excited, after all, he was
Now he has brought back a large amount of magic crystals, tea orders, and much-needed supplies in the territory for Adrian.
"Okay, Afu, now let's talk about your harvest. I can't wait. After all, the supplies we brought from the Nibelungs have been consumed for half a year and it's time to replenish them."
